Watch her in Beijing!

House of Switzerland

Big recepiton at the House of Switzerland after winning gold medal for Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka. 3 hours after winning the gold medal they arrive at Swiss House in Beijing. The house is very crowded.. also when it is 2.20 am local time.

Federer: A dream has come true this week. We are very happy! It’s not only a medal for us. It’s also a medal for Switzerland, for everybody. It’s an honour to share this with you! We want to thank all of our supporters which were behind us in the stadium but also those who are here today. Finally it has had become very good Olympic games, after we both lost in the single tournament. We look forward to the rest of the season. I wish all of you a nice evening! Thank you

Press conference:
Federer: It’s not a consumption (winning double instead of single). It’s maybe well for forgetting what happens in single. But it’s something completely different to all impressions I went trough at Grand Slams titles. It’s something unique! To win such a big title with such a good friend will maybe never happen again. Therefore it’s a unique moment which stands for his own. Not comparable with an other title. It’s a big joy for us!

Speaker: This joy was afterwards in the whole House. Roger was descriping the last seconds from the final.

Federer: Well, I was quite nervous because I had to serve out the match. That’s sometimes very difficult in double tennis. Sometimes I had to go trough the second serve what made it even more diffivult. But Stan played very solid the whole game. Therefore I was full of self confidence. After the match was over a big dream came true. We very thrilled like little kids.

Speaker: Did you know that King Roger has a Nickname in China which is „cow”? The explanation gives us this chinese reporter…
